Retrospective evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas in a tertiary care institution

Adrenal tumours are nowadays a common incidental finding in the daily clinical pactice. Their prevalence has increased due to more widespread available radiological imaging methods. The majority of epidemiological studies worldwide have shown that most of these tumours are benign, small and hormonally inactive. Aim of this retrospective study was the evaluation of all patients with adrenal tumours who were treated in our tertiary department of endocrinology between 1.1.1999-1.10.2013.
